I was about to post the same. Looks like a good southerly flow, though the various forecasts are mixed on timing and speed. Also, it looks like there could be a thunderstorm at the tail end of the push ... So got to hit it early and then head for cover. I was thinking Belle Haven Marina or Mason Neck to save some drive time, but I will check the forecasts in the morning. Has anyone recently been to these locations with a comment on how the weeds are this year?

Decisions, decisions ... It does look like Sandy Point will have 4+mph more than the Potomac sites ... But then there may be very high jelly fish concentration at Sandy Point ( http://chesapeakebay.noaa.gov/forecasting-sea-nettles) ... Anyone been to Sandy Point recently to comment on that?

Good point ... I think Mason Neck is generally good with any westerly contribution, which we won't have tomorrow. Hmm ... I also just read that the MD seafood festival is at Sandy Point tomorrow and they talk about shuttle buses ( could it really fill that lot?)

Yeah, I have been considering those as well. But, today, unless the wind looks like it just won't be enough on the Potomac, I think I am going to stay closer to home and try Leesylvania State Park (or maybe Belle Haven if someone posts with a favorable weed report). Thinking 11 or noon arrival.

If Chesapeake looks to be the only option when I hit the driver seat, may see you on the Bay.

How was Sandy Point today? I went to Leesylvania State Park for the first time. Pretty good for S winds. Started with a 7.5, but very quickly switched to a well-powered 6.2. (125 l, 160 lbs, 42cm) Surprising that there was only one other person out. Was derigged and exiting before the southerly flow turned northerly ... with a nearly 60 mph blow in between.

I would give a thumbs-up to Leesylvania ... Not too far off 95, easy launch, very wide point of the river, very few weeds (used a regular fin) .... and enough boat traffic around to give you a tow if you broke down.
